The July 2016 Baghdad bombings occurred on 3 July 2016 when the Islamic State used a suicide bomber and a roadside bomb to attack Shia civilians in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, killing over 220 people and wounding over 225. Abu Maha al-Iraqi was identified as the suicide bomber who drove a refrigerator van into the packed Karrada district at breakfast time (around 12:05 AM) and detonated the explosives in the vehicle, killing at least 220 people. The roadside bomb at the Sha'ab suburb killed at least five people. The refrigerator van suicide bombing was the deadliest single bomb attack in Iraq since 2007 during the Iraq War.
